In the frontier with the French Basque Country sharing the mouth of
the Bidasoa river with Irun and Hendaia and in the feet of the Jaizkibel
Mountain it is set up this picturesque village called Hondarribia. Because
of its situation, it has support a number of important battles and historic
events. Even though in the 18th century the town was recovered by big
walls that they were destroyed, however nowadays we can see some of
linens that protected them.
This small fishing village has a lot of places to
visit. The nice Nuestra Señora del Manzano church with the gothic
and renaissance style, does not go unnoticed. It’s tower is a
bigness symbol, and from the faro we can watch the French coast or the
beaches of the Jaizkibel mountain. The Main Street with a medieval style
is made up by old wonderful buildings. We find the colours in La Marina
, is a neighbourhood of fishermen with houses with colouring wooden
balconies and adorned with flowers. If our visit is in a Sunday we can
not miss street market set up in the Gipuzkoa square. where any artist
can expose their piece.
